Hello, friends! I’m so excited to share with you our mini guest bedroom makeover – AKA, the remarkable journey of how a simple can of paint turned our lackluster guest bedroom into a cozy retreat that exudes charm and character. If you’re on a budget but dreaming of a stylish makeover, trust me, you’re in for a treat!
Let’s rewind a bit. Picture this: a dull and uninspiring guest bedroom begging for a makeover. Honestly, every time I walked by the room, it made me sad. But I was determined to breathe new life into the space without breaking the bank. Enter the unsung hero of home improvement – paint!

With just a few coats of paint on the headboard wall, the transformation began. (I really wanted to paint the whole room initially, but given we are planning to expand our family, it’s likely this room will become a kid’s room in the future, and the prospect of painting over one wall seems much more manageable than an entire room!)
We opted for a soft, soothing mauve hue (Behr color Spiced Brandy color matched by Sherwin Williams). It instantly cozied up the room and made it feel more inviting. But the magic didn’t stop there. To add a splash of personality, we decided to create a gallery wall featuring a collection of vibrant floral art. I had been collecting this art for several years now, so I didn’t spend anything to add this feature to the space. That said, if you’re looking to add new art to a space, check out thrift stores and second hand (like Marketplace) for options on the cheap!
Of course, no room makeover is complete without a few strategic additions. I was lucky enough to have a gorgeous vintage dresser from my grandmother I put to use. And I found beautiful nightstands at a local antique store a few months back that added a touch of old-world charm to the room. And let’s not forget about the plush velvet drapes that instantly elevated the space and added a touch of luxury without breaking the bank (love me some Amazon finds!)
What’s truly remarkable about this makeover is that it proves you don’t need to spend a fortune to create a dramatic impact. By simply harnessing the power of paint and incorporating a few key pieces, we were able to completely transform the look and feel of the room.
So, if you find yourself itching for a change but are hesitant to splurge on a full-blown renovation, take heart! Look around your home, get creative with what you have on hand, and don’t underestimate the transformative power of paint. With a little bit of imagination, you can turn any space into a stylish sanctuary that reflects your unique style.
So here’s to the magic of paint and the endless possibilities it holds for turning our houses into homes. Happy decorating, and let me know what you think of our transformation! ????????
See you next time!
XO, Ana
